Famous quotes containing the word work:

“The better a work is, the more it attracts criticism; it is like the fleas who rush to jump on white linens.”
—Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

“So work the honey-bees,
Creatures that by a rule in nature teach
The act of order to a peopled kingdom.”

“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
